Cytek Biosciences is seeking an experienced, high‑impact Service Sales Manager to lead and scale global service agreement and commercial service offerings. The role drives recurring revenue by managing a dedicated team of Contract Sales Specialists and works cross‑functionally with Field Service, Commercial Sales, Marketing, and Operations to optimize sales workflows, enhance customer retention, and accelerate market penetration.
Responsibilities
- Lead, mentor, and performance‑manage a team of Contract Sales Specialists to achieve and exceed service revenue targets, including annual service contracts, preventive maintenance packages, point‑of‑sale warranties, and post‑warranty conversions.
- Define individual sales targets, quotas, and KPIs aligned with broader organizational revenue goals.
- Standardize core sales processes, outreach strategies, and closing techniques for the contract sales team.
- Partner with leadership to define service sales positioning, pricing strategies, and promotional bundling at both POS and post‑warranty touchpoints.
- Collaborate with Commercial Sales and Marketing to streamline lab conversion strategies and displace legacy competitor service footprints (e.g., BD, Beckman Coulter).
- Analyze key business metrics—including contract renewal rates, multi‑year extension rates, average response time commitments, and contract margins—to identify growth opportunities.
- Work closely with Field Service Leadership to align service contract deliverables with regional field engineer capacity and service turnaround expectations.
- Coordinate with Customer Service, Order Management, and Finance to ensure fast, friction‑free processing of service quotes, purchase orders, and invoicing.
- Serve as an internal advocate for service sales tools, improving CRM accuracy, lead routing, and revenue forecasting visibility.
Requirements
- 5+ years of successful commercial experience in life sciences, biotechnology, or medical device capital equipment sales/service sales, with at least 2+ years in a direct team management or regional leadership role.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Life Sciences, Bioengineering, or related discipline (Master’s or MBA preferred).
- Strong familiarity with flow cytometry, cell analysis platforms, or complex analytical instrumentation environments.
- Demonstrated track record of driving recurring service contract revenue, managing multi‑year service agreements, and navigating complex institutional procurement processes (academic, pharma, biotech, and CRO labs).
- High proficiency in CRM platforms (Salesforce/NetSuite) and data analytics tools for pipeline management, forecasting, and team KPI tracking.
- Exceptional verbal, written, and executive presentation skills; proven ability to negotiate and influence across internal teams and external stakeholders.
Physical Demands and Work Environment
The role operates in a global context, requiring occasional flexibility to accommodate time‑zone differences and potential travel to regional service centers. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
